Knocking out Overeem is hardly a feather in anyone's cap anymore at this point, though.

I still think it's pretty funny how Overeem basically looks like in his LHW days again, btw.

While Overeem is chinny and has always been, that uppercut would have knocked the moon out of orbit if it landed there.

Everyone’s geeking over Yancy/Oliveira and it was a super fun, ridiculous fight, but more in the vein of Griffin/Bonnar where two guys are somewhat artlessly swinging at each other. Gaethje/Alvarez was my fight of the year. Brutal and grueling, but worlds more strategic and technical, with shifting gameplans and heart for days.

Yeeeaah I'm not convinced that Ngannou will ko Stipe just like that... the man hits hard, no doubt, but who has he fought really? Looking forward to a heavy-weight match for the first time in a long time though

Aldo looked great, Holloway's chin is indestructable. Would have been interesting to see how he deals with a fucked up leg...

I know it's never going to happen, but seeing a McGregor-Holloway rematch would be darn great

There’s no guarantee he lands like that on Stipe, sure, and let’s be clear that I never said him beating Stipe is a foregone conclusion. What I’m saying is that if he lands that cleanly on anyone, he wins.

“Who has he fought really ?” Is just a laughably idiotic question though. Uh, the #1 ranked HW ? Three days ago ?

Mate, go have your blood pressure checked. I don't know why you react so aggressively/ defensively every opportunity you get, but it's annoying and sucks the fun out of interacting with you. Which is a shame, because you're obviously a very witty and knowledgeable guy. My comment that I wasn't convinced that him beating Stipe is a foregone conclusion was directed at Mike, nowhere did I say that you're convinced that Ngannou will surely win. Overeem has beat a lot of high level guys lately, but beating one good dude, even if it's in such devastating fashion, does not automatically make you invincible. Looking forward to being proven wrong, though.

You made a dumb comment. I’ve made plenty too. Don’t take it so hard.

well you're an athletic guy and a vegetarian, too, if I remember correctly, so no real surprise there... good for you, mate

Was incredibly sorry to see Cub Swanson, who is always amazing, lose his last UFC fight in this fashion. SO wish he'd get another shot at Jose Aldo... time to check out this Ortega guy's other fights!

So what are your predictions for UFC 219? Here's mine, based on absolutely nothing but gut feeling:

Holm VS Cyborg - decision Cyborg
Khabib VS Barboza - Khabib tko's Edson in the third round
Condit VS Magny - Condit fucks Magny up in the second

It's a pity the Condit Woodley rematch is never going to happen...

aaand now it's even less likely to happen. Condit looked off, if I hadn't known that he is an absolutely amazing fighter I wouldn't have guessed. Maybe they could let him fuck Colby Covington up, but that asshole would probably be so scared of Condit that he would (successfully) wrestle Condit for three rounds straight...

Khabib was fucking sensational. No way in hell McGregor will fight him. I don't see Tony winning against Khabib, either. What a fucking animal, can't wait to see him fight again.

Robbie just lost his last fight too, I could honestly see them making that rematch for a co-main on a fight night.

Man, Khabib gets takedowns off of just one underhook. Like you can’t even be in a pummel position with the guy. It’s absurd. His ground and pound combined with his passing is getting tighter and tighter too. He’s a pleasure to watch. It’ll be fascinating to see Tony try to deal with that with his guard work and leg lock game.

Yeah but Robbie lost a title contention match. Condit got tapped out in the first round of the Maia fight, didn't fight in forever and now lost a relatively boring match. I hope you're right of course... It's funny, Condit is the only fighter whose fights I get emotionally invested in. The guy has a special place in my heart, but I have the feeling MMA has moved on and he's lagging behind... apparently, he was going to quit for real but returned because he doesn't have any other career options, which sounds bleak as fuck.

It's such a no-brainer. DC wants to retire a year from now anyway, so he could beat Stipe, defend that belt maybe once and then vacate before Velasquez is back in title contention. He'll be the only simultaneous two-division champ who actually defended his belts. Nobody'll care anymore that it was only because Jon Jones couldn't stop tripping over his own stupidity and he'll get to thumb his nose at Conor McGregor for all eternity.

Shit, now I've talked myself into really wanting this to happen.

Wasn't surprised to see Rockhold getting knocked out. His boxing defense has been shown to be shit again and again in the past; even Bisping knocked him out.
